When Criticizing Women Becomes a Blind Spot

By Ajit Krishna Dasa

In some devotional discussions, it has become fashionable to list the “faults of women” — often using long, sensationalized narratives about female manipulation, deception, instability, or hidden agendas. These narratives present themselves as “traditional” or “strict,” but they rely on selective quotation and ignore something fundamental:

Śāstra gives at least as many — and often far harsher — warnings about the faults of men.

From the Mic to the Mantra: Rap Battles and Nyaya Debates

How the Art of Verbal Combat Can Evolve into a Practice of Clarity and Devotion

Hip hop – the Soundtrack of My Youth

Before I cared about meaning, I cared about rhythm. Long before I even knew the word hip hop, I was drawn to its sound — the pulse of the drums, the way a beat could make ordinary life feel charged with meaning. At first, I didn’t understand the lyrics. English wasn’t my first language, so I listened mainly to the energy — the flow, the emotion, the attitude. Later, as I learned more, the words began to open up: humor, storytelling, clever punchlines, social critique. It felt like a world — alive, expressive, real.

Hip hop offered what I was looking for: something raw and honest, something that didn’t pretend. It gave me role models — people who stood strong in the face of struggle. As a teenager, I absorbed everything: the beats, the messages, the heroes. For a time, hip hop was my whole world.

A Vaisnava Critique of Charlie Kirk’s Case for Meat Eating

By Ajit Krishna Dasa

In a recent public exchange Charlie Kirk defended eating animals on biblical, biological, and practical grounds. His points deserve a careful hearing—and a careful answer—because morality is not decided by applause lines.

Kirk begins with the claim that humans are “above cows,” so killing them is not the same as killing a person. Greater intelligence, however, has never been a moral blank check. History is full of examples—slavery, colonialism, child labor—where the strong used their advantage to exploit the weak, only for later generations to condemn it. True moral superiority means protecting the vulnerable, not breeding and killing them for taste.

Why God Allows Evil: The Masochism of the Soul

By Ajit Krishna Dasa

Introduction

The question is familiar, almost worn out by repetition: If God is all-good and all-powerful, why does He allow evil and suffering? Why should a child be born into war, a mother bury her son, or a man be driven to despair by loneliness, disease, or betrayal? And if such things are real—and they are—then how can we claim that this world is governed by a benevolent and omnipotent God?

By Ajit Krishna Dasa

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.87.2

“Śukadeva Gosvamī said: ‘The Supreme Lord manifested the material intelligence, senses, mind and vital air of the living entities so that they could indulge their desires for sense gratification, take repeated births to engage in fruitive activities, become elevated in future lives and ultimately attain liberation.’”

I Have Said No to Organ Donation – Here’s Why

By Ajit Krishna Dasa

A New Law on Organ Donation in Denmark

As of June 1, 2025, Denmark has introduced a new law under which all citizens over the age of 18 are automatically registered as potential organ donors, unless they actively opt out. This system is known as a soft opt-out model: individuals are presumed willing to donate their organs unless they explicitly register otherwise. However, in cases where a person has not made a choice, family members may still be consulted before any organs are removed.

Śrī Caitanya’s Horoscope Refutes the Tropical Zodiac

By Ajit Kṛṣṇa Dāsa

Introduction

As the popularity of Vedic astrology grows among modern spiritual seekers, so too does the confusion regarding fundamental concepts such as the zodiac itself. One of the most serious misunderstandings arises when practitioners attempt to apply the tropical zodiac to charts rooted in Vedic tradition and Gauḍīya paramparā. This mistake becomes glaring when applied to the sacred birth chart of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, the Golden Avatāra.

No God, No Logic: The Epistemic Suicide of Atheism

By Ajit Krishna Dasa

The Illusion of Neutral Logic

Many people—atheists and theists alike—believe that logic must be a valid epistemic tool simply because it cannot be denied without being used. “Even denying logic requires logic,” they say. “So logic must be valid.” This argument sounds compelling, but it is deeply flawed. It confuses necessity of use with justification. Just because something must be used does not mean it is grounded in truth.

Rewriting Krishna’s Reality?

By Ajit Krishna Dasa

People love to act like they can make up reality as they go. They change their pronouns, call themselves a different gender or species — as if simply declaring it could make it true. They do the same with morality: deciding abortion isn’t murder if they call it “choice,” or hookup culture isn’t empty if they call it “freedom.” Every one of these moves comes from the same deep root — the desire to define reality on their own terms. And that’s a dead giveaway that they want to take God’s position. They want the power to say what is real and what is right.
